1. Who we are and what this covers
Budgenie is a personal budgeting app for iPhone and Android. In this policy, “Budgenie”, “we” and “us” mean the developer of the Budgenie app. This policy covers the Budgenie apps on the App Store and Google Play and this website (https://rork-budgenie.vercel.app/).
If you have any questions, email us at support@budgenie.app.
2. Information we collect
Account information
You sign in with Apple (on iPhone) or Google (on iPhone and Android). When you do, the provider shares with us:
- your email address (with Apple, this can be a private relay address if you chose “Hide My Email”)
- your name, if the provider shares it
- a link to your profile picture, if the provider has one (Google)
- a unique account ID that we create for you
We never see or store your Apple or Google password.
Budget data you enter
Everything you type into the app so it can work and sync between your devices:
- Budget accounts (wallets): name, emoji and currency.
- Categories: name, emoji, whether it is for expenses or income, and its budget.
- Transactions: amount, expense or income, date, category, account, your note, and whether it repeats.
- Savings goals: name, emoji, target amount and amount saved.
- Settings: currency, number of decimals, language, appearance, monthly budget and the account you last selected.
We don't connect to your bank and we don't read any other financial accounts. The app only knows what you enter yourself.
Purchase information
Budgenie Pro is a subscription bought through the App Store or Google Play. Apple or Google processes the payment. We receive the details of your subscription (which plan, when it started, whether it is active, renewals and cancellations) so we can unlock Pro. We never receive your card or bank details.
Technical information
The apps contain no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. Like any online service, the companies that host our backend and manage subscriptions (listed below) process basic technical data, such as IP address and request logs, when the app talks to their servers. They use it to run and secure their service.
This website
This website does not use cookies, analytics or tracking of any kind. It is a set of static pages.
3. How we use your information
- To sign you in and keep your account secure.
- To store your budget and sync it across the devices you sign in on.
- To check whether you have an active Pro subscription and unlock the app.
- To show your name or email on the Settings screen.
- To answer you when you contact support.
We don't use your data for advertising, we don't build marketing profiles, and we don't send marketing email.
4. Where your data is stored and who helps us
Your budget is saved on your device first, so the app works offline. When you're online it syncs to our cloud database. In the cloud, every table is protected by row-level security, so each signed-in account can read and change only its own rows.
We rely on these service providers, each only for the job described:
- Supabase hosts our database and handles sign-in. It stores your account information and your synced budget data.
- RevenueCat manages subscriptions. It receives your Budgenie account ID (not your name or email) and your purchase details from Apple or Google.
- Apple provides Sign in with Apple and processes App Store payments.
- Google provides Google Sign-In and processes Google Play payments.
Apple and Google handle sign-in and payments under their own privacy policies.
5. Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal data, and we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers. We share data only with the providers above so the app can work, or when the law requires it.
6. How long we keep it
- We keep your account and budget data for as long as you have an account. If you delete something in the app, it is removed from the cloud the next time the app syncs.
- When you delete your account, your account and all of your synced budget data are deleted from our database straight away, and the app clears its copy on that device.
- Purchase records may be kept by Apple, Google and RevenueCat where they need them for billing, tax or legal reasons.
7. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and UK, or the CCPA in California), you have rights over your personal data. We offer them to everyone:
- Access and export: all of your data is visible in the app, and you can export your transactions as a CSV file from Settings. The file is created on your device. You can also email us for a copy of what we hold.
- Correction: edit or delete any entry in the app at any time.
- Deletion: delete your account from Settings, or ask us by email. See Delete your account for the steps.
- Objection or restriction: email us and we'll help.
You can also complain to your local data-protection authority.
8. Security
Data travels between the app and our servers over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Each request is tied to your signed-in session, and the database only returns rows that belong to you. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we collect to a minimum and protect it.
9. Children
Budgenie is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you think a child has created an account, email us and we will delete it.
10. International transfers
Our service providers may store or process data in countries other than yours. When that happens, we rely on the providers' standard safeguards for international transfers, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
11. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If the change is significant, we'll also do our best to let you know, for example in the app.
